Education

"Students are
graduating with
mortgage-sized
debts and the
Liberals' plan will
lessen that
burden on
students and
their families,"
Bilan Arte,
national
chairwoman of
the federation,
said in a release

Half a
million
Canadians
receive
Canada
Student
Loans every
year, said
Card. Since
Stephen
Harper took
office, the
level of
student debt
has risen by
30% with the
average
graduate now
expecting to
owe more
than $26,000
as they try to
start a career
and maybe
even a
family.

The Liberal
and
Conservative
Views On
Education.
The liberals
ideas are
based on the
two principles
of liberty and
equality. ...
They do this
because they
believe it is
the best way
to educate
the general
public. They
are against
the idea of
education
vouchers for
students.

Green Party
recognizes the
need to freeze
and
subsequently
reduce tuition
fees across the
country, as
well as creating
needs-based
grants to
address the
student debt
crisis. We can
fund an
accessible
post-secondary
education
system, help
foster research
and innovation
and assist
workers by
providing
flexible
training and
education for
life-long
learning.

It doesnt have
to be this way.

cherished

improve it for
future
generations.
